My apartment complex is being treated for bugs using a tented method - thankfully my unit isn’t effected, but will still be tented. My question is should I take my glowforge out, I am fearful that it would somehow be damaged, but I might be overthinking it.
Thanks for entertaining my anxiety.
I might put a cover over your glowforge? Disconnect the vent and then use something like a big trash bag would probably do it.
Good question…It will probably be fine, but you might want to snugly tape a couple of large garbage bags around it. (Also any food.)
Hard to know without more information regarding exactly what the treatment is. The typical termite fumigation is 100% safe for electronics. Otherwise, to be safe—unless the Glowforge itself has “bugs”—I’d disconnect the vent duct work and wrap the unit with trash bags and duct tape to be sure. 
I worked pest control for 40 years & electronic equipment will be fine. Most likely they are using Vikane. I would be more concerned if they were using heat method.
snugly tape garbage bags around the glowforge filled with food, or around the food? He could probably put the food inside of the garbage bag rather than doing a Marvel Venom kind of thing. 
j/k
We are getting the house tented in a few months as the termites are eating our attic. My plan is to eat all of the food, but I keep going to costco and buying more, hmm.
